- This podcast is like a sip of fresh air for people in constant pain
Phenomenal conversations about depth of life and business building with chronic pain. So much needed around that “taboo” topic and in the age of AI. Hah, AI definitely doesn’t know what it really takes to live with pain. Loving that opportunity to connect human to human!

And if this is done with heart, passion and authenticity like the one Nikita brings it is both needed and overdue.
